Sri Lanka rejects Pakistan tour

Sri Lanka Cricketu00a0 turned down an invitation by Pakistan to return to the troubled nation (for 5u00a0 Tests, 3 ODIs, & 1 T20i), saying security was still a problem two years after its players were attacked there.

"We are not going to send our team to Pakistan," Sri Lanka Cricket chairman DS de Silva told AFP.

"I've asked the secretary to inform Pakistan Cricket Board of the decision. Instead we've requested Pakistan to host the matches in Colombo or at a neutral venue like Dubai or Abu Dhabi," he said.
